Meltdown: This stretches the analogy but essentially the conditions for sustaining the criticality can just breakdown.
FORBES: Housing's Positive Feedback Loop and the Coming Meltdown
However, this usually leads to the rapid expansion of the reagents that shuts down the criticality.

My comments are based on the criticality and accountability of each member in their role.
When Greek and Italian debt yields started to spike we witnessed the rare event of a human-time-scale criticality.

Chemical explosions are a sort of thermo-criticality where the reaction produces enough heat to sustain even more reaction.

The importance and mission criticality of these applications will come and go.
For example, a finance manager is the most qualified person to define policies around storage of financial information based on criticality of the data.
The fourth mistake was that the company had insisted all along that, because the amount of nuclear material would always be carefully weighed and therefore controlled, there was no chance of criticality ever occurring.
This can become a very slippery slope given the magnitude such judgment calls take on given the speed of the game, the scrum of players in the box, and the criticality of the few goals scored each match.
Furthermore, it would take a combination of extreme events to make things dangerous in Tokyo (nuclear re-criticality, steam explosion) etc all of which are being rendered less and less likely as time passes and the heat decay process progresses.
But while Mr Buchanan explains all this well, he also makes a sweeping claim: that human society too is an example of self-organised criticality, and that it is therefore possible to use science to explain the patterns of history.
The top government spokesman said TEPCO has begun new cooling operations to fill the reactor with sea water and pour in boric acid to prevent an occurrence of criticality, noting it may take several hours to inject water into the reactor.
